Panasonic Lumix G3 + 14-42mm Lens £235.95 @ UK Digital

Lowest price so far for this great introduction to the micro four-thirds system. All the features of a dSLR but in a light and compact package which won't break your neck! Add the 20mm pancake lens (or X PZ zoom) and it will fit in the smallest of cases.

" The Panasonic Lumix G3 is the latest micro four thirds camera with an interchangeable lens. SLR Like and but smaller with body dimensions of only 115.2 x 83.6 x 46.7mm, weighing just 544g in a stylish black finish. The G3 has a 16.0 megapixel CMOS sensor and Venus engine VI FHD processor which combine to produce stunning quality images. Main features of the Lumix G3 include a 3.0" 460K pixel vari-angle "touch" LCD, electronic viewfinder, a full high HD video mode 1080i (1920 x 1080). SDHC and SDXC are compatible. "

This is better than a bridge camera if you accept the need to buy more lens to supplement the zoom range. The benefit is better image quality, better low noise performance and better ability to isolate subjects from the background. You also have the ability to keep the lens and upgrade the body. No bridge camera at this price will provide the features and image quality the G3 will give.

I bought the red version from curry's on-line a few weeks ago for £179.97...not sure if they are still available in-store at that price as no longer available on the website. Should be noted it was only the red version that was this price, black and white were far more expensive for some unknown reason.

Why do I still look around after ordering?Canon 1100D looks to get better … Why do I still look around after ordering?Canon 1100D looks to get better reviews, oh well.

But the Canon is bigger, especially the lenses, and has no rotating screen, no touch screen and no EVF which is great for video shooting in sunlight. Rest easy you have made a good choice! Remember more Canon fanboys out there so will always get better reviews.
